Grown at Hutchinson Farm since the 1990's.
Available late July to early October.

If you love fresh hot peppers, the best advice
we can give you is to buy your peppers from someone who
loves them too. At Hutchinson farm, we know chiles, we
love chiles, and we grow them hot.

Just how hot is it? The answer is, it depends!
I may find something extremely hot, that a real
chile-head finds only mildly spicy. Or, a sauce that may
be a little bit spicy to me, has enough heat to kill my
mother!

A mild hot pepper with thick flesh, conical

will cut away all the heat. New for 2012. Note:
our resident chile-head rates this as hotter
than the labeled 700 SHU...closer to a milder
jalapeño!

Capsicum chinense
The hottest family of peppers, including the common
Habaneros, Scotch Bonnets, and the infamous But

them, keep fingers away from eyes and other body
parts, and add with caution to your dishes.
